i've rummaged the forum here, and it seems like a lot of ppl are getting this error. yet i'm still not able to get rid of it.

my hard drive did indeed fill up [episodes of futurama ;) ] and boinc stopped working. i've since freed up 18gig of space, and told boinc to get going again, and it says nope, it still needs more. so then i went to each project that i had and i changed the following settings:

use no more than: 2gig
leave at least: .1 gig
use no more than: 50%

as i check my drives at the moment, i have 18 gig free. [did a little more cleaning while i was at it] boinc still will not run, citing that it has no space.

any ideas?

do you need boinc to retry the connection to pick up the changes?

[edit] probably not as it connected yesterday - i assume that last connection was after you made the changes your settings online?

Your setting are allowing BOINC to use 2 gig. That amount would stay constant unless the drive had less than 2.1 gig free when "leave at least" would start to bite instead.

That is not 2gig per project, that is 2gig in total. BOINC divdes this among projects by your resource share, I believe.

Suggestions:
1 Try allowing BOINC a lot more space or increasing the project shares of each project in turn, or some comination thereof.

2 Use the disk space tab to find out what is currently being used by each project (but I assume you did thos already!)

This is my settings and they have worked on all of my computers

without any problems.

use no more than: 40 gig
leave at least: 0.001 gig
use no more than: 40%

Good luck

i figured it out. someone on the climateprediction.net mentioned that i had 2 failures. these failures were just sitting on disk, taking up over 2 gig of space. went into $:Program FilesBOINCprojectsclimateprediction.net and deleted everything in there. almost immediately things started working.

thanks for your help.

Climate Prediction sure does use a lot of space. Even after a unit has been completed, they leave from 300 MB to 2GB of "stuff" on your HD. And they would like you to archive it instead of delete it.

BTW.

This is not bashing the project, as I don't know anything really about it, except what I read on their FAQ about the HD space, which caused me not to participate since I rarely touch the systems I have setup, and they would all run out of space without me knowing unless I remembered to check on them every few months.
